Interesante historia de la zona

The LAHM is such a sweet, beautiful and lush venue, tucked away in Los Altos! They have a gorgeous red brick patio with lights already strung across to make any event feel like moderate sized garden party. For our wedding, we loved having a beautiful natural backdrop for our ceremony, but also a space with room for mingling during cocktail hour and for kids to run around (though if you have a kids free wedding, the event space is still perfect!). They were so generous in allowing us to use the Smith House for the bride to hide away while guests arrived, while also giving us space in their main museum to store the belongings of our wedding party. All around, I couldn't imagine a better wedding venue for us! Lisa P. started after we had reserved our date and once she was our point of contact, things couldn't have been easier! She was so helpful and communicative. We even lost one small item on the day of the wedding and she was so diligent in ensuring it was returned to us quickly and easily. We highly recommend the Los Altos History Museum for your event!

We recently hosted an event for our nonprofit at Los Altos History Museum. The space is excellent as are the staff and volunteers.

It's always nice to have a very beautiful spot in your backyard.

This is a small museum about the development of Las Altos. The ground floor has exhibits on different art forms including the South Indian classical dance Bharathanatyam. The first floor has AV about the development of Las Altos over the last few hundred years. Outside this building they have reconstructed the old ranch house and also a small windmill that was being used in the last century

My wife and I stumbled upon this hidden gem for our big day. The venue is very beautiful and spacious. Lots of great spots for photos. A big shout out to Lisa, the events coordinator, for an amazing job. She went above and beyond in the overall process. Would highly recommend as a wedding venue and more!

I recently had the pleasure of working at LAHM as a wedding planner since my couple had chosen to get married here. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, filled with flowers & greenery, string lighting already installed (which can be expensive if brought in!), and a rich history that adds a special touch to any event. The multiple spaces available allowed guests to explore and enjoy different areas throughout the day, making the whole experience feel dynamic and unique! On the day of the wedding, we needed to do a flip of the ceremony space into a dining area, and the venue's setup allowed us to have the tables ready & set up inside during the ceremony, which was incredibly helpful and made the transition smooth. The venue manager, Lisa, was great as well—she was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful throughout the planning process as well as on the day of the wedding. She knows the venue inside out and was able to answer all questions & provide helpful suggestions. I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend LAHM as an event/wedding venue!

It's pretty fun here. The museum definitely emphasizes local history but it seems there's a theme for downstairs. It might be monthly or bi-weekly but it's always fun and interesting. The store is nice too, I always hit the clearance and find good deals. I'll return again when the chance comes.

Gorgeous courtyard with a fall music series, which is like taking a step back in time to when Los Altos was a thriving Agricultural community. This is an outstanding History Museum part of which is set inside an early 1900's home. The more interactive exhibits are in the newer state of the art museum building.
